NVIDIA has released GeForce Hotfix Driver 610.82 to address stability issues for RTX 50-series GPUs in Halo: Campaign Evolved, just days before its launch on July 28, 2026. The update also fixes intermittent DX12 pauses in Path of Exile 2, enhancing the gaming experience for users. This hotfix is only available through NVIDIA's Customer Care support site and does not carry WHQL certification, indicating it is provided "as-is" without full quality assurance. Players with RTX 50 cards planning to play Halo on release day may benefit from this targeted fix, but they should note that hotfixes are removed once their changes are included in the next official driver release
